Chapter 579: So They Are Related

Yi Tian’s face was full of anger. Ling Tianya’s words made it sound like she had picked up something that Guan Meiyi no longer wanted.
Just look at what Guan Meiyi was like in the past. No matter if it was hers or her mother’s scandal, everyone knew about it. Even if she hadn’t resigned, the crew would have dropped her.
Now, Ling Tianya was using her resignment as an excuse…..
“Screenwriter Ling, if you had recommended someone else, then we would consider it, but it is Guan Meiyi…” The director said, looking at Ruan Zeyan’s expression.
“I recommend Guan Meiyi. Director Kong, director, why can’t you look at her performance before judging her?” Ling Tianya’s tone was confident and definite.
Director Kong became distressed. He looked at Yi Tian. He wanted to set down the auctioneer’s hammer and select Yi Tian for the role. However, Ling Tianya had mentioned the contract and Ruan Zeyan had also chimed in. Director Kong couldn’t go against Ling Tianya’s wishes.
Yi Tian was not happy. From the very beginning, Yi Tian knew that Ling Tianya would not change her decision. Therefore, Yi Tian’s face changed to that of someone who was wronged and pitiful, her voice slightly quivering as she said, “Director Kong, since Screenwriter Ling recommended Sister Meiyi, then let her have a try. After all, Sister Meiyi is Screenwriter Ling’s cousin. Screenwriter Ling is probably worried for her sister.”
Yi Tian’s words, in addition to her pitiful expression, immediately alerted everyone to the fact that Guan Meiyi and Ling Tianya were related, which was why Ling Tianya recommended her. Suddenly, a look of understanding appeared on everyone’s faces. When they looked at Guan Meiyi, their eyes were full of scorn.
“Heng! No wonder. It is all because of relationships!” Shan Feifei said in a low voice. Although her voice wasn’t loud, everyone could hear what she had to say.
Guan Meiyi was now the center of attention. She stood up and walked over, her hands clenched into fists. When she lifted her head, her eyes emitted a confidence that she didn’t have before.
“Director Kong, please give me another chance!” Guan Meiyi’s voice was powerful and resonating, different from her previous attitude. Standing in front of them now was a brand new Guan Meiyi.
Director Kong looked at Ling Tianya, a little distressed. “How about it, Director Ling, since you have recommended her, we will give her a chance just as stated in the contract. We will decide after we see her performance. If her performance is good, then we will proceed with what we initially agreed, and we will give her the female lead.”
Of course, previously, Guan Meiyi’s acting wasn’t very good, which means that the term “good” can be applicable in many ways. What does it mean to be good enough? If simply one of them feel that it is good enough, does that then indicate that it was good enough?
Ling Tianya knew that this was the largest step Director Kong was willing to take. Ling Tianya was not anxious. Everything was based upon Guan Meiyi’s performance. If she did not perform well, then Ling Tianya would be the first to drop her.
Yi Tian coldly looked at Guan Meiyi. Her heart had long been set on the role of female lead.
“May I ask which scene I should re-enact?” Guan Meiyi asked.
The directors pondered for a moment. “How about this? You will re-enact the scene that Yi Tian just acted out. Then, we will be able to compare it.” Their underlying message was to let Guan Meiyi know the difference between her and Yi Tian.
The directors looked at Ling Tianya. “Screenwriter Ling, I said that for the sake of a fair comparison. You don’t have any objections, do you?”
“No.” Ling Tianya shook her head and looked toward Guan Meiyi. “You may begin.”
